BeLive: Turn Your Business Expertise into Live Conversations
BeLive: Turn Your Business Expertise into Live Conversations
Some customer questions are easier to answer when you can show the product and talk through it. BeLive gives you a browser-based studio to do that. IPSense can help you prepare the session and take questions from viewers.
Want a live session that feels organised and easy to follow?
BeLive, also written as Be.Live, helps you run live shows from a browser with branding, guests and viewer interaction. Its editing tools can also help you take useful sections from the recording afterwards.
Have a topic in mind? IPSense can help you decide how to present it and what you will need on screen.
What does BeLive do, and who would find it useful?
BeLive lets you control a live show from your browser. You can choose what viewers see and bring supported comments into the conversation.
It suits a retailer comparing products, a consultant interviewing a specialist or a business owner answering buying questions. Guests can join by invitation, and the show can go to supported channels.
For a private team call, your usual meeting app may be enough. BeLive is useful when you need to manage what an audience sees during a broadcast.
Which BeLive features are useful for business sessions?
A studio in your browser
Open the studio in a supported browser and connect your camera and microphone. You do not need a separate desktop broadcasting app.
Bring a guest onto the show
Send your guest a joining link. They wait in the staging area until you bring them on screen, so joining the studio does not immediately put them in front of viewers.
Your branding on screen
Use your logo and colours, and add names or topic titles on screen. Keep the design simple enough for viewers to read on a phone.
Broadcasting to different channels
The same show can go to several supported channels. This is useful when your customers follow your business in different places.
Comments you can bring into the discussion
Bring a viewer’s question onto the screen while answering it. An optional AI Comment Assistant can feature comments automatically, but you should decide whether that suits your show.
Clips from a longer conversation
Trim a useful answer from the recording with the web editor. Your team can then share that explanation without asking customers to watch the whole show.
Features and limits vary by plan. Before starting, we check your chosen channels, comment support and how long recordings remain available.
What could you discuss with your customers live?
Choose a question customers ask often. “Which material should I choose?” gives you a more useful starting point than a general introduction to your business.
- Compare product options: explain which model suits which job, with a demonstration of the differences.
- Answer buying questions: cover installation, preparation, maintenance or what is included in your service.
- Interview a specialist: invite someone who can explain a technical subject in everyday language.
- Walk through a process: show customers what to expect before an appointment, project or service begins.
For example, an interiors business could show two worktop samples and explain where each works well. Viewers can ask about everyday use while the samples are on screen.
Questions that need an individual quotation or a detailed assessment can be taken up separately after the session.
How can IPSense help you put the show together?
Explaining a product while switching layouts and following comments can be awkward. IPSense can help prepare the show and decide who handles the broadcast while you present.
- Put your main questions in a sensible order, with a short opening and closing.
- Prepare titles, name graphics and your brand artwork.
- Help connect your channels and send guests the joining link.
- Plan when to show a speaker, a product or a viewer’s question.
- Identify answers worth keeping as short clips.
Tell us if you need help operating the studio or following comments during the session. We will confirm that support before you announce the show.
What do we need before going live?
- Pick one useful topic.Send the question you want to answer, your proposed date and the names of any guests.
- Send the material you want to show.Share your logo, product pictures or slides, along with the correct speaker names and titles.
- Try the show before it is public.Join from the devices you will use. Check the sound and guest connection, then practise the opening.
- Decide what happens afterwards.Choose where to save the recording and who will follow up on questions left unanswered.
What works well, and what should you plan around?
Keep the discussion easy to follow
Show the guest when they are speaking, then display the question being answered. Those simple changes help viewers follow the discussion.
The recording can also supply short clips. Check that each one makes sense on its own.
Live sessions need someone paying attention
Even after a rehearsal, a guest’s connection can drop or a question can need a private reply. Decide who will handle those interruptions.
Keep sensitive customer details off screen. The software also cannot guarantee attendance or enquiries; you still need to invite people and give them a reason to watch.
Get guests’ agreement to broadcast and reuse their recording. Use material you have permission to show, and download any recording you need before its storage period ends.
What do businesses ask before their first live show?
Do I need to install broadcasting software?
No separate desktop broadcasting app is needed for BeLive’s browser studio. You need a supported browser, camera and microphone, plus a reliable internet connection.
Can I invite someone from outside my business?
Yes. Guests can join through an invitation link without creating a BeLive account. Send the link ahead of time and have a short practice session, especially if they have not joined a live show before.
Can the same show appear on more than one channel?
Yes. BeLive supports broadcasting to several destinations at once. Share your preferred channels so we can check what your plan allows. A channel that accepts the video may not support all comment features.
Can we use parts of the recording afterwards?
Yes. BeLive’s editor can trim sections from the recording. If an answer refers to something shown earlier, include that context in the clip. Tell us if you also need captions or further editing.
What should we send to start planning?
Send a topic, proposed date and the channels you want to use. A few customer questions or product photos will help too. You do not need a finished script to start the discussion.
What would you like to explain in your first live session?
Tell IPSense what customers keep asking you. We can help turn that question into a live demonstration or discussion and get the show ready.
